I have two hdd, 1 contains seawolf, the other is empty. the first looks like this: / 3gb /boot 15mb /usr 3gb /home 9.8gb /web 3gb
the other has 2 partitions, thus: /backup 10gb /netdrive 10gb about 7-8 gb of data needs to be backed up from drive 1 to drive 2 to backup everything. 1. can i backup from multiple partitions on one drive to a single partition of another drive? is tar meant for this? 2. how useful is this scheme? if my system drive dies, how do i recover a tar file from the second drive? don't i have to do a complete install on a new/repaired drive 1 first? if so, will i be able, e.g., to replace /usr & /etc, etc., et al., and have everything work as expected? 3. should i just get a tape drive and forget about my /backup partition? thanks for any advice, i appreciate it! vora _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
